this State and of the United States, subject, however, to the
approval of the said Conferences.
Sec. 2. As soon as convenient after the passage of this
Act, the persons named in the first section thereof shall meet
in the City of Jackson, in this State, and organize by accept-

26 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Sec. 5. Ttiat the land or grounds not to exceed one hun-
dred acres used by the corporation as a site and a campus for
said College, and the buildings, dormitories and halls thereon
erected, and the endowment fund contributed to said College

longer.
Sec. 6. That the cost of education shall, as far as prac-
ticable, be reduced by said corporation to the lowest point con-
sistent with the efficient operation of said College, and to this

sonable effort shall be made to bring a collegiate education
within reach and ability of the poorer classes of the State.
Sec. 7. That this Act take effect and be in force from
and after its passage.
The College has its origin in the general policy of the
Methodist Church to maintain its institutions under its own
-control for higher learning in the Arts and Sciences.
At the Annual Session of the Mississippi Conference In
the City of Vicksburg, on December 7, in the year 1888, the
following resolutions were adopted by a large majority of the
Conference:
"Resolved, 1. That a college for males under
the auspices and control of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, ought to be established at some cen-
tral and accessible point in the State of Mississippi.
"2. That a committee of three laymen and
three preachers be appointed to confer with a like
committee to be appointed by the North Mississippi
Conference to formulate plans and to receive offers
of donations of land, buildings or money for that
purpose, and report to the next session of this Con-
ference."
In accordance with this action, the President of the Con-
ference, Bishop R. K. Hargrove appointed, the following com-
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 27
mittee: Rev. T. L. Mellen, Rev. W. C. Black, Rev. A. F. Wat-
kins, Major R. W. Millsaps, Col. W. L. Nugent and Dr. Luther
Sexton.
On December 12, 1888, the North Mississippi Conference
met at Starkville, Mississippi, Bishop C. B. Galloway presid-
ing. The Rev. T. L. Mellen appeared and reported the action,
taken by the Mississippi Conference. The following tran-
script from the North Mississippi Conference Journal gives
the response made by that body:
"Resolved, 1. That a College for the education
of boys and young men should be established in the
State of Mississippi under the auspices of the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, South.
"That a committee of three laymen and three
ministers be appointed to confer with a like com-
mittee already appointed by the Mississippi Confer-
ence."
The following committee was accordingly appointed:
Rev. J. J. Wheat, Rev. S. M. Thames, Rev. T. J. Newell, Hon.
G. D. Shands, Capt. D. L. Sweatman and Mr. J. B. Streater.
To the action of these Conferences we may trace the di-
rect origin of the College.
The joint commissions constituted by the action sum-
marized above met in the City of Jackson in January, 18 8 9.
The Rev. Dr. J. J. Wheat was called to the chair. In stating
the purpose of the meeting he made a stirring appeal in be-
half of the proposition to establish a Methodist College in Mis-
sissippi for the education of young men. In response to this
earnest appeal, Major R. W. Millsaps, a member of the com-
mission, proposed to give $50,000 to endow the institution,
provided the Methodists of Mississippi would give a sum equal
to this amount for said purpose. This proposition was en-
thusiastically approved, and after a plan of procedure was
adopted, Bishop Charles B. Galloway was invited to conduct
a campaign in the interest of the proposed endowment fund.
Under the direction of this distinguished leader, the most
gratifying progress was reported from time to time. The re-
28 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
port submitted to the Conferences by the committee in Decem-
ber, 1889, refers to the movement in the following language:
"The canvass, on account of the numerous ne-
cessitated absences of Bishop Galloway from the
State, could not be continuously carried on, but even
the partial canvass made, embracing not more than
.one-fifth of our territory, resulted in the most grati-
fying and encouraging success. The interest awak-
ened in the enterprise has extended beyond the limits
of our own Church, and is felt by every denomina-
tion of Christians, and by every section of the State.
It is safe to say that no effort of Methodism has ever
kindled such enthusiasm in our State or evoked such
liberal offerings to the Lord. The fact has been
demonstrated that the Church is profoundly con-
vinced that the College is an absolute necessity."
The report continues:
"So high is the appreciation of the value of the
proposed institution that numerous towns in the
State have entered into earnest competition to se-
cure the location of the college within the limits of
their respective borders, offering from $10,000 to
$36,000, and from twenty to eighty acres of land."
In December, 1889, the Rev. A. F. Watkins, a member of
the Mississippi Conference, was appointed a special agent to
co-operate with Bishop Galloway in all matters pertaining to
the endowment of the proposed College. As the work of
raising the sum designated in the original proposition pro-
gressed, and $25,000 had been collected, Major Millsaps in
the year 1890 paid $25,000 into the College treasury.
In December, 1892, the Rev. J. W. Chambers was ap-
pointed agent for the College, and on December 30, 1893, he
reported that the full amount had been collected to meet the
terms of Major Millsaps' proposition, and thereupon $25,000
was immediately paid by Major Millsaps to the Executive Com-
mittee and the following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That the Executive Committee return
our most heartfelt thanks to Major R. W. Millsaps
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 29
for his second gift of $25,000, this day turned over
to us. For his princely liberality, and unfailing in-
terest in the great enterprise so happily and suc-
cessfully inaugurated, the Church and State owe him
a large debt of gratitude."
The Conference having provided for a Board of Trustees,
the joint commission dissolved in January, 1890. This Board
to which was referred the matter of organizing the College,
was composed of the following:
BISHOP CHARLES B. GALLOWAY, President
REV. W. C. BLACK, D.D. REV. S. M. THAMES
REV. T. L. MELLEN REV. T. J. NEWELL
REV. A. F. WATKINS REV. C. G. ANDREWS, D.D.
REV. R. M. STANDIFER HON. G. D. SHANDS
MAJ. R. W. MILLSAPS CAPT. D. L. SWEATMAN
COL. W. L. NUGENT MR. J. B. STREATER
DR. LUTHER SEXTON MR. JOHN TRICE
HON. M. M. EVANS REV. J. J. WHEAT, D.D.
After the Board organized under the charter, the question
of locating the College was considered with great care. The
Board met repeatedly to consider offers made by different
towns, and finally on May 20, 1891, while in session in Wi-
nona, Mississippi, decided to locate the College in Jackson, the
capital of the State. The citizens of Jackson contributed
$21,000 for grounds and buildings, and to this sum Major
Millsaps added $15,000. Plans for a commodious main build-
ing were immediately procured, grounds were purchased, and
in a comparatively short time buildings were in process of
erection.
The College opened its doors for the reception of students
in 1892 with Rev. W. B. Murrah as President, and three pro-
fessors in the College. A Preparatory School was opened at
the same time with one Master. From time to time its facili-
ties have been enlarged and additional departments created,
until it now has, in addition to its President, twenty-two pro-
fessors in fourteen departments.
30 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
The Presidents of the College have been W. B. Murrah,
D.D., LL.D., later Bishop Murrah (1892-1910), D. C. Hull,
M.A., (1910-1912), A. F. Watkins, D.D., (1912-1923), and
D. M. Key, Ph.D., LL.D., (1923 ).
The unusual facilities for conducting a Law School in
Jackson led to the establishment in 189 6 of a Law School.
Hon. Edward Mayes, ex-Chancellor of the University of Mis-
sissippi, and for more than fourteen years a professor of law
in that institution, took active control of the new school. In
1918 it was discontinued.
In 1911 the Academy was formally separated from the
College. It was made a distinct institution with the official
title of the Millsaps Academy. In 19 22 it was discontinued.
The facilities of the College were enlarged in 189 5-189 6
by the generosity of Major Millsaps, who gave Webster Sci-
ence Hall. In 1901 Mr. Dan A. James, of Yazoo City, built
an observatory for the College, in memory of his father, Mr.
Peter James, and of his brother, Mr. Samuel James, and furn-
ished it with a fine telescope. Millsaps College can thus of-
fer unusual advantages in astronomy. In 1902, to supply
the increasing demand for better dormitory and dining hall
facilities. Major Millsaps gave the College the property for-
merly known as Jackson College. This enabled the College
to fill the demands made on it at that time. In addition to
this gift Major Millsaps gave fifty acres of land immediately
adjourning our campus. Ample provision is thus made for
the future expansion of the college.
In 1906 the General Education Board offered to donate
from the funds provided by John D. Rockefeller for Higher
Education $25,000, provided an additional sum of $75,000.00
should be collected from other sources, for the permanent en-
dowment of the College. Rev. T. W. Lewis, of the North
Mississippi Conference, was made financial agent of the Col-
lege to collect this sum. In 1910, $32,279.10 had been col-
lected for this purpose. Mr. I. C. Enochs, a generous citizen
of Jackson, gave an additional $5,000. Major Millsaps, with
characteristic generosity, contributed the remaining $37,-
720.90. Thus the endowment of the College was increased
by $100,000.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 31
In 1913 Major Millsaps gave to the College property on
Capitol Street, Jackson, valued at $150,000. This is the
largest single gift to the College.
The dormitory of the Preparatory School was destroyed
by fire in 1913, but was promptly rebuilt and made more val-
uable by alterations which also improved greatly the appear-
ance of the structure. A more disastrous fire destroyed the
main building in 1914. But within a few months the old
structure had been replaced by a far more commodious and
imposing administration building. ,
At the decease of Major R. W. Millsaps in 1916, it was
found that he had left for the endowment of the College, life
insurance to the amount of $88,000. This final benefaction
fittingly closed the long list of his gifts to the College.
During the Christian Education Campaign of 19 21 Mr. W.
S. F. Tatum, a generous layman of Hattiesburg, donated
$100,000 to the College for the establishment of the Depart-
ment of Religious Education. The Board of Trustees accept-
ed the gift, giving the department the name of the generous
donor. Later, in 1923 Mr. Tatum, realizing the growing im-
portance of this field in the church college, added $25,000 to
the sum at first given by him. By these gifts he created the
first separately endowed department in the college. The de-
partment was organized at the opening of the session of 1921-
'22, with Professor C. A. Bowen in charge. Provision was
made in the deed of gifts for the employment of an Associate
Professor, and Millsaps College now has two professors in this
department. The work of this department has grown in
scope and effectiveness until it is new recognized as doing a
leading work in the Methodist Church in this field. It is to
be hoped that others will see the opportunity for promoting
instruction in particular subjects by endowing other depart-
ments. The Science Departments, the History Department,
the Department of Education, and the Carnegie-Millsaps Li-
brary are, because of their needs, promising fields for a fruit-
ful investment in Christian Education.
In 1926 the number of women students had increased to
such an extent that it became necessary to provide housing
32 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
accommodations on the College campus, and the Sullivan
House which had been removed in order to make room for
the new Carnegie-Millsaps Library, was fitted up and equip-
ped for this purpose. During the session of 1928-29, a sec-
ond building, a new apartment house on West street was
leased and furnished as a home for young women. It im-
mediately became apparent, however, that this provision is
inadequate and will have to be enlarged. Plans are now on
foot by which it is expected that adequate provisions will be
made for all young women now in the College and for those
who may enter the Junior or Senior Class. It will not be
possible to admit young women not residents of Jackson to
the Freshman or Sophomore Class.
Since the foundation of the old library had so given away
as to make the building unsafe, the Carnegie Library Board
agreed in 1923 to rebuild the Library on a new site, and to
provide a larger one more nearly adequate to the needs of the
College, which had grown greatly since the original Library
was built. So a new Library costing $60,000.00 became
available in 1925-1926.
In 1926 and again in 1927 the Conferences took action
approving and endorsing the purpose of the College to make
a special appeal for the enlargement and improvement of the
physical equipment. In the spring of 1928 this appeal was
begun and some $268,000 in subscriptions was secured. This
amount included a number of gifts of considerable sums in-
cluding $50,000 from B. B. Jones who had previously given
$20,000 to the endowment, $15,000 from W. M. Buie, whose
previous gifts have amounted to $28,300; and $15,000 from
I. C. Enochs family. At the next Annual Conference, Rev. V.
G, Clifford was appointed as financial commissioner who de-
voted his time to the raising of funds for the completion of
the buildings needed. As a result of the subscriptions al-
ready made, a magnificent science building costing about
$180,000 has been erected.
In compliance with a request from the student body the
Board of Trustees, at their annual meeting in June, 1932,
named the new science building Sullivan-Harrell Hall.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 33
Since 1912 Millsaps College has been a member of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. An
impartial committee of the Association made exhaustive in-
quiry into the financial resources of the institution, its
courses, the training of its instructors, and the character of
its work, and unanimously recommended it for membership.
This inquiry extended over a year, and no conditions what-
ever were imposed for the election of the College, since it had
been of the first rank for some years. Its degrees are rec-
ognized by all institutions of learning as among the best in
the land.
The College is also a member of the Association of Amer-
ican Colleges, and of the American Association of Collegiate
Registrars.
The following statement of the resources of the College,
while not inclusive of all sources of its revenue, gives some
idea of the solidity of its foundation, and also furnishes a
guaranty of its perpetuity:
Productive endowment, including reve-
nue producing property $ 888,453.48
Unproductive endowment (land) 100,000.00
Buildings 5 40,162.85
Grounds 227,071.18
Books, Equipment, etc 82,587.15
TOTAL ?1, 838, 274. 66
One of the purposes which the College keeps constantly
in view is indicated by the following section of the charter:
"The cost of education shall, as far as practica-
ble, be reduced to the lowest point consistent with
the efficient operation of said College, and every rea-
sonable effort shall be made to bring collegiate edu-
cation within the reach of the poorer classes of the
State."
With a productive endowment of $888,45 3.48, and build-
ings and grounds worth $767,234.03, it rests on a foundation
which assures its perpetuity. It has the support of a great
religious denomination, yet it is not sectarian in its policy.

It numbers among its patrons representatives of all the Chris-
tian churches.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 39
GENERAL INFORMATION
Millsaps College is named in honor of Major R. W. Mill-
saps, whose munificent gifts have made the existence of the
institution possible. The College is the property of the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, South, and was organized by the con-
current action of the Mississippi and North Mississippi Con-
ferences. It is not sectarian, however, but numbers among
its patrons members of all the Christian denominations.
LOCATION
Jackson, the capital of the state, and the seat of the
College, is easily accessible by five lines of railway. Thirty
passenger trains arrive and depart daily. The College is lo-
cated in the northern part of the city on a commanding ele-
vation, with perfect drainage, and in a beautiful campus of
one hundred or more acres. A healthier spot it would be
difficult to find within the limits of the State. Jackson is a
city of 48,000 inhabitants, with handsome churches and pub-
lic buildings, and is noted for the refinement and intelligence
of its people. Its literary, social and religious advantages are
superior.
THE JAMES OBSERVATORY
Millsaps College is prepared to offer excellent advantages
in the study of astronomy. The late Mr. Dan A. James, of
Yazoo City, Mississippi, built an observatory for the College
in memory of his father, Mr. Peter James, and of his brother,
Mr. Samuel James. He also furnished the observatory with a
fine telescope. The class of 1916 donated a fine photographic
lens to the observatory. A two inch prismatic transit by
Gaertner was added to the equipment in 193 0.
CARNEGIE MILLSAPS LIBRARY
Near the close of the session of 190 5-190 6, Mr. Andrew
Carnegie offered to give $15,000 for a library building if the
trustees would supply an endowment of equal amount. Major
40 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Millsaps added to his many contributions by giving the full
amount of the endowment.
The foundations of this handsome building unfortunate-
ly gave way so that it became necessary to rebuild the struc-
ture, and the Carnegie Corporation generously appropriated
$50,000.00 for this purpose. The books are catalogued fully
by the A. L. A. system and are in charge of Mrs. M. B. Clark
and Miss Adele Mounger, trained and experienced librarians.
Prom time to time additions have been made from the
endowment funds and from the Library fees.
In addition to the books thus obtained, the library has
been so fortunate as to secure most of the well selected li-
braries of the late Dr. C. K. Marshall, John W. Burruss and
Rev. W. G. Millsaps, the entire library of Colonel W. L. Nu-
gent, besides many volumes from the libraries of ex-Chancel-
lor Edward Mayes, Dr. A. F. Watkins, and Major R. W. Mill-
saps. Dr. J. M. Burton, late professor of Romance Languages,
who died in France in the service of his country on October
5, 1918, generously left to the College his entire Romance
library. This has been appropriately labeled and shelved, and
constitutes a valuable addition to the books on Romance Lan-
guages. The Martha A. Turner Fund, founded by Mrs. J. R.
Bingham, of Carrollton, Mississippi, is used for the purchase
of books in English literature. Through the generosity of
Hon. W. S. F. Tatum a fine collection of books has been built
up for the use of the Department of Religion.
Mrs. Charles B. Galloway made a notable addition to our
collection of valuable books by giving to the College the fine
theological library of the lamented Bishop Charles B. Gallo-
way.
In 19 31 the Carnegie Corporation included the Millsaps
College Library in the list of college libraries to which spe-
cial donations were made for the purchase of books. A sum
of $10,000 has been allotted to the library to be paid in five
annual installments. This fund has already greatly strength-
ened the library, especially by making it possible to obtain
many works and sets of books that it would otherwise have
MILLSAPS COLLEGE . 41
been difficult or impossible to obtain at this time. In the last
four and one-half years, through January, 1936, more than
4,300 books have been added to the library from this source.
The students also have access to the State Library and
the Jackson Public Library, which are unusually complete in
many departments.
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
Students will be required to be present at morning wor-
ship in the College Chapel. In this daily service the Faculty
and students come together to hear the reading of the Bible
and to engage in singing and prayer. Students must attend
religious worship at least once on Sunday in one of the
churches of Jackson.
THE YOUNG MS:N'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
One of the most potent factors in the College for develop-
ing the students into a broader life is the Young Men's Chris-
tian Association. Its policy and aim is to develop the three-
fold nature of the students — the moral, intellectual, and spirit-
ual. It is a well known fact that a student who develops
himself intellectually, but neglects his spiritual nature, is in
no sense a complete man. Unless one becomes a well-round-
ed man, he is not fit to fight the battles of life.
In this connection the association was organized shortly
after the College was founded. It has done as much to mould
character and to hold up a high standard of ideals before the
student as any other department in connection with the Col-
lege. It has been dominated by the double purpose of lead-
ing men to accept Christ and to form such associations as will
guard them against the temptations of college life. The As-
sociation has done much to strengthen the spiritual life and
influence of the College, to promote Christian character and
fellowship and progressive Christian work. It trains its mem-
bers for Christian service and leads them to devote their lives
to the cause of Christ where they can accomplish the most for
the extension of the Kingdom of God. In order to accomplish
42 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
this purpose the Association holds weekly meetings on Wed-
nesday evenings. These services are usually conducted by
some of the students, but occasionally by some member of the
Faculty, or by some prominent minister or layman.
Realizing the importance of a young man's choosing his
life work while in college, a series of addresses on "Life
Work" has been arranged and prominent men of each profes-
sion are invited to address the Association from time to time
on their respective professions.
An annual revival is held some time in the year, lasting
more than a week, which results in leading young men to
Christ each year. During the current year a spiritual life con-
ference conducted by Dr. R. E. Smith, contributed very much
to the religious life of the students.
The Association sends yearly a delegation to the South-
ern Students' Conference at Blue Ridge, North Carolina.
Since the ten days of the Convention are assiduously devoted
to discussing Association work and problems, the delegates
always return enthusiastic and zealous for doing Christian
service.
The work of the Association is carried on by the students;
each man has his part to do according to the plan of the organ-
ization. The President, elected by the members, appoints
chairmen of nine committees, each composed of three or more
men. It is the duty of the Publicity Committee to advertise
all meetings, and secure good attendance. The Membership
Committee meets all new students as they arrive, and gives
them any information desired concerning College, boarding
facilities, etc. Afterward this committee calls on each stu-
dent and urges him to become a member of the Association.
The Reception Committee has charge of College Night, and
any other entertainment that the Association may choose to
give during the year. The object of College Night is to make
the students acquainted with one another and to interest the
new man in the different phases of College life. The Em-
ployment Committee assists deserving students in getting em-
ployment for their spare time. The City Mission Committee
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 43
has charge of work in different parts of the city. The Devo-
tional Committee provides leaders, and the Music Committee,
whose Chairman is the treasurer of the Association, collects
the annual dues and raises funds sufficient for meeting cur-
rent expenses.
But most important are the Bible Study and Mission
Study Committees. Bible study groups are formed at the dor-
mitories and at the boarding houses. The students engage
in daily Bible reading and meet for one hour each week, for
discussion. The Mission Study Committee arranges courses
in biographies of missionaries in various mission fields and
secures leaders for the various classes. A student Volunteer
Band is organized and is active in preparation for mission
work. Delegates are sent each year to the Volunteer Con-
vention, and the College is now represented in the foreign
field by a number of efficient missionaries.
The Y. M. C. A. is back of every phase of College life,
and it is expected that every student will identify himself with
the organization.
THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Young Women's Christian Association plays the same
part in the lives of the young women of the College as is
played by the Y. M. C. A, in the lives of the men. It exerts
a profound influence for good on the whole College.
Religious services are held by the Y. W. C. A. each week,
a period being set apart in the College programme of exer-
cises for that purpose. The Association sends each year a
delegate to Blue Ridge. The girls of the College have in the
Y. W. C. A. all the advantages offered by that organization
in the best colleges for women.
The Freshman Commission constitutes those who are in
training for position as future officers of the Association.
DEBATES
Representatives of the college engage in intercollegiate
debate w^ith teams from the other colleges of the state and
44 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
also other institutions. In recent years there have been de-
bates with Emory University, Birmingham-Southern College,
Vanderbilt University, Centenary College, and others. In
1925-'26 Millsaps debate teams won every one of the six de-
bates engaged in, and since that time have won a majority
of their contests.
STUDENT PUBLICATIONS
There are two literary publications which have an excel-
lent standing among the student publications of the South,
viz., the Purple and White, the campus weekly, and the Col-
lege annual, the Bobashela.
HONORARY FRATERNITIES
Student leadership in college activities is signalized and
rewarded by election to various honorary fraternities. Liter-
ary ability among the men of the college leads to member-
ship in the Kit-Kat Chapter of the national literary frater-
nity, Sigma Upsilon. Similar ability among the co-eds leads
to membership in Chi Delta Phi, a national literary honor so-
ciety for women. Excellence in scholarship is given recogni-
tion by election to Eta Sigma. Pi Kappa Delta recognizes
the leaders in oratory and debate at Millsaps. Student lead-
ership, of whatever kind, is recognized by membership in
Omicron Delta Kappa, an intercollegiate leadership fraternity.
Membership in this organization is regarded as a great honor.
Excellence in dramatics at Millsaps, as manifested by partici-
pation in the dramas presented by the Millsaps Players, leads
to association with Alpha Psi Omega, the youngest honorary
fraternity on the campus and one of the livest. A pre-medical
fraternity, recently organized, also functions for those whose
interests are along that line of activity. Such honors as
those mentioned above are much sought after in our institu-
tion, and cause students to attain a high degree of excellence
in their chosen field of student activity,
MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS
For a number of years there have been two excellent glee
clubs, the men's glee club under the direction of Dr. A. P.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 45
Hamilton, and the women's glee club under the direction of
Miss Magnolia Simpson. Both glee clubs are now under
the direction of Mr. Alvin J. King. An excellent band has
been organized, the student body raising some $1,200.00 for
instruments and equipment, and it has made rapid progress.
The students of the Fine Arts Department have organized the
Beethoven Club, and presented some excellent programs, pri-
vately and publicly.
Several other voluntary organizations, such as the Science
Club, and the Classical Club, give expressions to collateral
scholarly interests outside the regular curriculum.
ATHLETICS
Millsaps College is a member of the Southern Intercolle-
giate Athletic Association, and the Dixie Conference, and takes
part in all intercollegiate games. Games and sports of all
kinds are under the special direction of the General Athletic
Association, a student organization, whose object is to pro-
mote this class of physical exercise. The faculty exercises a
general advisory control, endeavoring to foresee and avert
dangerous tendencies or excess in physical exercises while giv-
ing to the students as far as possible entire liberty of man-
agement; a strict limit is placed upon the character of the
intercollegiate games and the number played away from the
College.
The Athletic Director has supervision of all intercolle-
giate teams and conducts mass games and interclass leagues
that enlist a large percentage of the students in some form
of active participation in athletics. For those who report
regularly two hours a week for exercise, under the instruc-
tion of the Athletic Director, a scholastic credit of two se-
mester hours is granted.
BOARDING FACILITIES
Students of Millsaps College, as a rule arrange for their
living in one of two ways.
1. There are seven small cottages, in which students can
room at reduced cost. These cottages are provided with the
46 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
same furniture provided for dormitory rooms. The cottages
are admirably situated on the eastern side of the campus. The
rooms are sufficiently large to accommodate two students
each. The room rental per student in the cottages is $20.00
per year in advance or $12.50 per half year in advance.
Furniture, lights, fuel, and water are furnished except to
families using apartments. Students wishing to engage a
room in one of the cottages should write Mr. V. B. Hathorn,
at the college.
2. In the dormitories the expense will be approximately
$18.00 to $21.00 per month including room, light, steam heat,
board, matron's services, and hospital facilities. The dining
room is conducted on the cooperative plan. During 193 3-34
the cost amounted to approximately $15.00 per month. Stu-
dents who room in the cottages take their meals at the Col-
lege dormitory. There are Christian homes where students
may get rooms without board. In such cases the students
may get meals at the college dormitory or at private homes.
3. Since the formation of the Millsaps System and the
recent development of a number of excellent State Junior col-
leges in Mississippi, the number of women students in the
junior and senior classes of Millsaps has increased to such an
extent that the College has provided living quarters for wom-
en. These are comfortably furnished and in each is provided
reception rooms and apartment for a house mother. All non
resident women students will be required to reside in the
home provided by the College and to conform to the regula-
tions of the dean of women. Room rent in these homes is
$63.00 per year or $35.00 per half year and board $15.00 per
month.
THE DORMITORIES
Founder's Hall is a three story structure, beautifully lo-
cated on the east campus facing State Street. At the South
end of the campus and overlooking the city with the beautiful
dome of the New Capitol in the foreground are Burton Hall
and Galloway Hall. These handsome buildings with their
columned porticoes are connected by a colonnade.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 47
The great dining room is unusually fine and is separated
from the large kitchens by a commodious serving room. A
feature which will be greatly appreciated by the students la
a large common room where the boys may gather for a social
hour.
Millsaps now is able to offer dormitories equal in all their
appointments to the best to be found in any Institution in this
section. Each student should bring with him four sheets for
a single bed, blankets, or quilts, a pillow with cases, and six
towels.
No change of rooms will be allowed except by permission
of the President.
Early reservation should be made if a student wishes to
be assured of a room. A deposit of $5.00 must accompany a
request for a reservation. Students entering College for the
first time are entitled to reserve a room upon payment of the
application fee of $15.00.
A home for young women in Galloway Hall under the
supervision of the Matron and the Dean of Women has been
provided and newly furnished, and adequate provision will
be made to accommodate all out of town young women who
are accepted.
MEMORIAL COTTAGES
The friends of the late Rev. John A. Ellis, of the Missis-
sippi Conference, and the Rev. J. H. Brooks, of North Mis-
sissippi Conference, have built two cottages for the accommo-
dation of students. These homes are named respectively, the
John A. Ellis, and J. H. Brooks Cottage.
MATRICULATION
The various departments are under the direction of pro-
fessors who are responsible for the systems and methods pur-
sued.
The session begins on the second Wednesday of Septem-
ber and continues with recess of about ten days at Christmas,
48 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
until the first Tuesday in June. The first two days of the
session are given to registration and all students, both old and
new, are required during that time to place their names upon
the books of the College and the rolls of their respective
classes. Lecture courses begin Friday, and absences will be
recorded against any student not present from the opening
lecture of each course.
EXAMINATIONS
The examinations in each class are held in writing. Oral
examinations are held in some departments but they are aux-
iliary to the written examinations, which in conjunction with
the class standing, as determined by the daily work of the
student, are the main tests of the student's proficiency.
At the end of the four years' course a comprehensive
examination is given in the student's major field.
REPORTS
Reports are sent at the close of each nine weeks to the
parent or guardian of each student. These reports give the
number of excused and unexcused absences from lectures, and
indicate, as nearly as practicable, the nature of the progress
made by him in his work at the College.
REGISTRATION OF NEW STUDENTS
Applicants seeking admission to the College for the first
time should present themselves to the Registrar of the Col-
lege at his office in the main building promptly at 9:00 o'clock
on the opening day, September 16th. In each instance a
certificate of good moral character, signed by the proper of-
ficial of the institution attended during the previous session,
or by some persons of known standing, must be sent to the
Registrar at least two weeks before the opening of the session.
Each candidate who satisfies these requirements and those
for admission by certificate or examination will be furnished
with a card containing the courses offered. From these he
must take the required courses and those electives which he
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 49
proposes to pursue during the session. The card must then
be carried to the Bursar, who will, after the College fees have
been paid to him, sign the card. Registration is incomplete
unless the registration card is signed by both the Registrar
and the Bursar. On payment of these fees the applicant will
be admitted to classes.
DELAYED REGISTRATION
Students are not permitted to delay their registration
through carelessness or for inadequate reasons. Any student,
new or old, who fails to present himself for registration dur-
ing the first two days of the session will be admitted to regis-
tration only upon the consent of the President, and will be
required to pay a special fee of $3.00.
RESIDENCE, ATTENDANCE AND GRADES
The Academic year begins on the morning of the second
Wednesday of September and continues for thirty-six weeks.
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday, and there is a Christmas re-
cess of about ten days.
Attendance is required for each student throughout the
session, with the exception of the days above indicated, un-
less he has received permission to be temporarily absent, or
to withdraw before its close. Leave of absence is granted by
the Faculty or President for sufficient reasons, and must in
every case be obtained in advance. While in residence each
student is required to attend regularly all lectures and other
prescribed exercises and all examinations in the courses which
he pursues, (unless excused for cause), and in every way to
conform to the regulations of the College.
Absence from the College is permitted only upon the
leave of the Dean, obtained in every case in advance. But
leave of absence for purposes of accompanying the athletic
teams, debating teams and all other recognized clubs will
not be granted except to officers and members of the organi-
zations.
Absence of athletic teams and other student organiza-
tions is provided for by Faculty regulations.
50 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Absence from any class is not excused except for sickness
or like providential cause. But absences, whether excused or
not, from one-fourth or more of the recitation period in any
term will result in proportionate decrease of credits allowed.
If a student is absent from a class more than one-fourth of
the time devoted to that course he loses one-half credit in
that course. The deficiency is made up by adding the loss
in credit to the 128 hours for graduation. If a student is
absent from one-half of the time devoted to a course then
all credit in that course is lost and the entire course must be
repeated.
Absence from examinations will not be excused except
for sickness on day of examination, attested by a physician's
certificate, or other cause which the Faculty by special order
may approve. An unexcused absence or presentation of an
unpledged paper is counted as a total failure in the examina-
tion in which it occurs. A student whose absence from ex-
amination is excused is admitted to a special examination
ordered by the Faculty.
CHANGE OF CLASSES
Students cannot change classes or drop classes or take up
new classes except by the consent of the Faculty.
The grade of the student in any class, either for a semes-
ter or for the session is determined by the combined class
standing and the result of examination. The daily average
counts two-thirds, and the examination one-third of the grade
for the semester. If the combined grade is below D the stu-
dent is required to repeat the course, except in courses where
the grades for the two semesters may be averaged.
Those reported delinquent in two or more subjects at any
faculty meeting are required to report to Coaching School
from 7:30 to 9:30 in the evening of the following two weeks.
Class standing in any course is determined by the regu-
larity of attendance of the student upon lectures and labora-
tory or other similar exercises where included in the course
in question and by the faithful performance of his work as
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 51
indicated by the answers when questioned, by written exer-
cises, note books, the faithful performance of laboratory or
other similar work, etc. Students are regarded by the fac-
ulty as under the law of honor in matters affecting class
standing or in examinations. The grade for passing in any
course is D. For quality requirements see page 67.
WITHDRAWALS
Voluntary withdrawals from the College require the writ-
ten consent of the Faculty or President.
Enforced withdrawal is inflicted by the Faculty for ha-
bitual delinquency in class, habitual idleness or any other
fault which prevents the student from fulfilling the purpose
for which he should have come to College.
The College reserves the right to cancel the registration
of any student at any time. In such a case, the prorata por-
tion of board, room rent, and tuition will be returned.
AH) TO METHODIST MINISTERS
Library Extension Service. — One of the most effective
ways in which we are serving the ministers of Mississippi is
in placing the books of our library subject to their call. We
not only do this free of charge but we pay postage one way on
any book that may be ordered from us. Books may be kept
out for the period of one month.
AID TO HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS AND TEACHERS
Debates and Public Speaking. — The College provides as-
sistance for high school pupils in the selection of speeches and
in the preparation of debates.
Lectures and Commencement Orators. — Members of the
College faculty are available for lectures and public speeches
on commencement anniversaries, and other public occasions.
Judges and Referees for High School Contests. — On short
notice the College can provide properly qualified judges and
referees for high school contests, athletic and literary.
52 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
ABD TO CLUB WOMEN
Lectures and Advice. — Members of the College faculty
from time to time lecture before women's clubs. We are in
position to provide assistance in the planning and preparation
of club programs.
CONDUCT
The rules of the College require from every student de-
corous, sober and upright conduct as long as he remains a
member of the College, whether he be within its precincts or
not.
They require from the student regular and diligent ap-
plication to his studies, and regular attendance upon chapel.
Drinking, gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly for-
bidden, and any student found guilty of them is punished by
suspension or expulsion.
Firearms.
The keeping of firearms by the students Is strictly for-
bidden.
Visiting the City at Night.
Students who are delinquent in their studies are forbid-
den to visit the town, or other places away from the College
at night, without permission from the President.
Delinquency.
Reports are made each two weeks of all those failing
during the preceding two weeks in each subject. The names
of those delinquent are posted and notice is sent to the parent
or guardian.
Those students who do not pass in as many as three sub-
jects during a semester, except Freshmen, who must pass two
subjects and make a grade of E in a third for the first se-
mester, shall be dismissed from College.
Demerit System.
1. The demerit system is used. Demerits are incurred by
unexcused absence from class, chapel, and for other vio-
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 53
lations of the college regulations, such as hazing and oth-
er offences.
2. When a student "has received an aggregate of thirty-five
demerits he is called before the Faculty and warned. A
notice of the same will be sent to his parent or guardian.
3. When the aggregate of demerits reaches sixty-five, he re-
ceives a second warning, and a second notice is sent to his
parent or guardian.
4. When the aggregate of demerits reaches one hundred, he
is dismissed from the College.
EXPENSES
Parents desiring to settle all College bills, such as board,
etc., through the Treasurer may do so by simply sending
check to Mr. V. B. Hathorn, Bursar, and specifying what the
enclosure is intended to cover.
FEES

tion fee upon this ground, will be required to present a cer-
tificate showing that he has been officially licensed to preach.

The Academic Schools comprise the Departments of Lan-
guages, Mathematics, Science, History, Social Science, Litera-
ture, Philosophy, Education, and Religion. In the courses of
these departments is comprised the work of the College with
the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science.
B.A. Degree.
The Bachelor of Arts Course offers special instruction in
the departments of Ancient and Modern Languages.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 67
B.S. Degree.
The Bachelor of Science Course offers special work in
Chemistry, Biology and Physics.
p A full outline of the required and the elective studies of-
fered for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of
Science is given in the pages following this announcement.
One hundred and twenty-eight semester hours are re-
quired for graduation both for the B.A. and B.S. degrees.
Specific courses are prescribed in the Freshman and the Soph-
omore classes, including alternative courses offered in ancient
and modern languages. All the courses in the Senior and
almost all in the Junior class are elective.
The usual course is 32 semester hours for each year.
Not fewer than 24 semester hours nor more than 38 semester
hours may be taken in a year, unless by express permission of
the President and Faculty.
THE GRADING SYSTEM
All marks are changed from a percentage to a six-point
letter scale as follows: "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", and "F".
"A" to represent superior work, largely of a creative nature
and in addition to the regularly prescribed work of the class.
"B" to represent above the average achievement in the
regularly prescribed work. "C" to represent the average
achievement of the class in the regularly prescribed work. "D"
to represent the level of achievement in the regularly pre-
scribed work of the class below the average in the same re-
lationship as the grade of "B" is above the average. "E"
represents a condition and may be changed to a "D" if the
grade in the other semester of the course is "C" or above.
"F" represents failure to do the regularly prescribed work of
the class. All marks of "D" and above are passing marks
and "F" represents failure.
A student who makes a grade of "D" in a subject will
be advanced in that subject, but a certain number of quality
points is requisite for advancement from one class to the next
68 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
higher class. The student must have nine quality points to be
classed as a Sophomore, 3 6 to be classed as a Junior, 72 to be
classed as a Senior, and 120 for graduation. The completion
of any college course with a grade of "C" for one semester
shall entitle a student to one quality point for each semester
hour, and the completion of a course with a grade of "B" for
the semester shall entitle a student to two quality points for
each semester hour, and the completion of a course with the
grade of "A" for the semester shall entitle a student to three
quality points per semester hour.
HONORS
A student who has earned 240 quality points during his
course shall be graduated vfith "honors"; one who has earned
348 quality points and is rated excellent on comprehensive
examination, shall be graduated with "high honors."
To be eligible for "honors" or "high honors" a student
must have passed at least sixty semester hours in Millsaps
College. Sixty per cent of the quality points on which "hon-
ors" or "high honors" are given must be earned at Millsaps.
These regulations do not apply to those who transfer back as
much as eighteen semester hours for their degree.

76 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
I. DEPARTMENT OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES
PROFESSOR HAMILTON
PROFESSOR KEY
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR HUDDLESTON *
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR SIMPSON
It is believed that the mastery of these highly inflected
languages will effect the purposes aimed at in education in
the following ways:
Constant drill in the processes of correlation, comparison,
discrimination and classification of the phenomena of lan-
guage is required, both in the study of inflection and syntax
and in translation. This drill affords a most rigorous exer-
cise in correct scientific method and produces habits and re-
flexes of accuracy, efficiency and system.
A first hand acquaintance with the language and modes
of expression of the ancients and with the evolution of literary
forms lays open a field of knowledge that is essential to a full
understanding of modern life and literature.
Intimate contact with the very words which express the
best ideals and aspirations of those great spirits whose influ-
ence has been most abiding and formative in our world should
shape the character to fine and worthy purposes. The "ul-
timate objectives" are not lost sight of.

uisite to Latin 11 if only two units in Latin are offered.

PROFESSOR SULLIVAN
A lecture room, a laboratory, and a large room for the
display of specimens are provided for this department in the
new fireproof Science Hall. The Museum contains about 300
minerals collected from various parts of the world, 200 speci-
mens of rock presented by the United States Geological Sur-
vey, 300 minerals and rocks presented by Goucher College,
and a fine collection of Mississippi rocks and fossils. The
excellence of the latter is yearly increased by donations from
friends of the College, and a collection made by the professor
and class on annual trips.
11. Lithologic and Physiographic Geology.
This includes a study of mineral crystalline forms, chem-
ical composition, occurrence, and uses, with a description
of the kind and arrangement of rock masses. Folios
and topographical sheets of the U. S. Geological Survey
will be used in connection with a study of physiographic
features and processes.
Dynamic Geology.
This portion of the course embraces the study of the
mechanical and chemical effects of the atmosphere, wa-
ter, heat, and life. Special attention will be given to
some phases of the subject, as the work of glaciers, and
of volcanoes.
12. Historical Geology.
In addition to general historical geology, some atten-
tion will be given to economic products and to paleon-
tology.
The College museum and the private museum of the head
of the department afford minerals and fossils for class study.
Several geological expeditions, regularly made in the fall
and spring to localities easily accessible to Jackson give the
class a practical conception of this kind of surveying. The
College is fortunate in being located in the midst of a region
that is quite varied in geological character. Occasionally the

The regular college work in German begins with course
11, but for the benefit of those students who have not been
able to make the required preparation in this subject, a pre-
paratory course (Course A) is offered. This course, if taken
under the supervision of the College and not used as an en-
trance unit, may be used as Junior or Senior elective. When
thus used it counts three hours toward graduation. All classes
in German meet three times a week, unless otherwise speci-
fied. For entrance Course A will count as two units, provided
the student makes a grade of not less than 80.
Text-Books: Grammar. Storm, Immensee; other short stories

In the courses in History two things will he kept in view.
Students will be required to acquaint themselves with the sig-
nificant facts in the development of the nations studied, and
to learn why these facts are considered significant. As far as
possible, the causal connection between historical events will
be indicated, and emphasis will be laid on the idea that his-
tory is a record of the continuous development of the human
race, whose growing self-consciousness manifests itself in the
progressive organization of its moral and intellectual ideals
into laws and customs.
In order to understand each people or nation studied, ac-
count will be taken of its literature, its racial composition, its
religious and social institutions, its economic condition, and
the organization of its government.
11. History of Europe 378-1776.
In this course an attempt will be made to show that the
problems and ideal of modern nations grow out of their
history. This will be done as a preparation for the study
of the governmental institutions of our own and other
countries, and as the basis for a correct understanding of
the questions now engaging civilized nations. Required
in Freshman year for B.S. students. Required in either
Freshman or Sophomore year for B.A. students.

PROFESSOR LIN
The courses in Philosophy are designed to give an intelli-
gent view of the constitution of the mind, and to indicate the
conditions of all valid thought. Only what is fundamental
will be considered.
In Logic both deductive and inductive logic will be given,
but neither course will receive credit for graduation unless it
is supplemented by the other course in this subject. In the
History of Philosophy a comprehensive view will be given of
the results attained by the greatest thinkers who have at-
tempted to frame a consistent theory of the material and the
spiritual world. One course in pre-christian ethics will be
given, and one in the ethics of recent times. As in Logic,
both courses must be taken in order to receive credit for either
looking to graduation. It is recommended that Logic be tak-
en before either Ethics or the History of Philosophy is at-
tempted.

11, 12. Physical Training for Men. The requirements in
physical work are designed to cover the whole school year at
the rate of two hours a week for each freshman. Although
this work is compulsory, considerable freedom in selection is
offered. The sole aim is to create a healthy desire to engage
in some form of recreation, under proper supervision, so as to
benefit the student morally, mentally, and physically. This
exercise takes form of competitive games in order to arouse
the proper interest, develop team work, teach initiative,
strengthen the morale, teach true sportsmanship, and create a
life-long interest in some form of sport which will benefit the
student in after life. An idea is also gained as to the natural
ability of each man and quite frequently students discover
that they are really better in athletics than they thought they
were and are encouraged to try for the varsity teams.
Physical Education for Women. General gymnastics (light
apparatus) ; rhythmic plays and games. Tumbling, Pyramid-
building, etc; developmental and corrective gymnastics. Spring
Festival. Point system used. Monograms awarded. Re-
quired of all freshmen. Credit: Two semester hours.

students who expect to combine coaching with teaching a
course in the theory of all major sports will be offered. This
course will comprise football, baseball, basketball and track.
Two hours a week of classroom work will be given, which will
also include a number of lectures.
In football, subjects such as the equipment and outfitting
of players, training units, practice methods, various offensive
and defensive methods, the forward pass, trick plays, general-
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 109
ship and field tactics, and numerous other important items
will be given consideration.
In baseball, individual play and team play will be taken
up in detail. Offense and defense will be thoroughly dis-
cussed; also batting, base running, position play, strategy, etc.

The courses in this department are offered for the con-
tribution they make to intelligent Christian living, and to
a genuine cultural education, rather than for any special pro-
fessional interest such as the ministry or other Christian life-
service. These special interests are not neglected, but the
courses seek primarily to meet the urgent needs of the Church
for an intelligent and effective leadership among its lay mem-
bers. It is hoped that many students will avail themselves
of these courses.
Some Millsaps students, under the direction of the De-
partment of Religion and the Board of Christian Education,
serve in Short Term Training Courses in the Mississippi con-
ferences, during the summers. This department gladly co-
operates in helping prepare students for such important serv-
ice to the Church.
Religion 11 and 12, providing an introduction to both
the Old and New Testaments, and some insight into the mean-
ing of the Christian religion, is required of all freshmen ex-
cept pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-engineering students,
who are required to take it during the sophomore year.
All courses in this department are one semester in length,
and carry three hours credit. Other than Religion 11 and 12,
both of which must be taken, any single semester course may
be taken. Prerequisites for any given course may be waived
under special circumstances, but only upon the consent of the
professor.
Majors in this department may emphasize either Biblical
literature or religious education, but in either case the whole
plan should be carefully worked out in cooperation with the
professor of religion. It is the growing sentiment among the
leaders of the Church that students preparing for the ministry
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 115
should not major in religion but rather in English or the so-
cial sciences. It is, however, suggested that every minister-
ial student should take some electives in religion, thereby-
orientating himself for seminary work.
11. Introductory Bible.
An introduction to the necessary backgrounds for intel-
ligent study and appreciation of the Bible, and some in-
sight into the meaning of the Christian religion. Re-
quired of all freshmen except pre-medical, pre-dental,
pre-engineering students, who are expected to take it in
the sophomore year. This course or its equivalent is
required for graduation, and is prerequisite to further
study in this department.

GENERAL STATE^IENT
The Summer School of Millsaps College for 19 36 will
open on June 3 and will continue for eleven weeks.
The Summer School is planned especially for college stu-
dents and for teachers who desire further professional work
or regular college work. Teachers may secure renewal of li-
cense by attendance for nine weeks. Entrance units and tran-
scripts will be required of all new students.
In opening its doors to the teachers of the State, Mill-
saps College feels that it is serving a long felt need in that
some provision should be made at the Capital of the State for
teachers to spend a few weeks during their vacation and at the
same time take such work as they may find in the list of
courses.
All the advantages of the other summer schools will be
afforded in the way of renewal and extension of license pro-
vided by the State Department of Education.
College graduates who lack the required number of hours
in Education will find, here, an opportunity to make up some
of those hours. Students with two years of college training
may, with six hours in Education, be granted a temporary
State License without examination by the State Board of Ex-
aminers.
The amount of work that a student may take will be lim-
ited to two subjects with a total credit of twelve semester
hours, or to four semester courses of three hours each.
142 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
There will be a series of lectures by special lecturers from
time to time. Announcement will be made beforehand.
The tuition fee will be $35.00 and a matriculation fee of
$5.00 will be charged. Board will be $25.00 or $26.00 per
month, or at the rates of $8.00 per week. For a period of less
than a week the rate will be $1.50 per day. Science fee,
$10.00. Library fee $3.00. Science breakage fee, $2.00 for
each course, unused portion returned. Those who expect to
live on the campus will bring with them a pillow, bed-linen,
towels, and toilet articles. The dormitories and dining hall
will be open on the evening of June 2. Fees and board pay-
able strictly in advance.
Those expecting to enter the Summer School should make
reservation of room by sending to the Bursar a deposit of
$5.00.
The following courses will be offered:
Biology 11, 12 History 21, 22
